Tieren is Irish in Origin.

Tieren is a modern Anglicised given name most plausibly derived from the Irish Tiernan/Tieran, from Old Irish Tighearnán, a diminutive of tigern/tighearna “lord,” giving the sense “little lord” or “lordly one.” It also resonates with the Brittonic branch (Welsh teyrn “king, lord”; Welsh name Teyrnon), all ultimately from the Common Celtic root *tigerno- “lord.” This places Tieren among Celtic honorific names rather than nature or virtue names.

In use, Tieren is rare but recognizable in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century, chosen as a streamlined alternative to Tiernan. Medieval bearers of the root form include the 12th‑century Irish ruler Tighearnán Ó Ruairc (Tiernan O’Rourke). Variants and cognates include Tiernan, Tieran, Tiernen, Tearnan/Ternan, Irish Tighearnán, the surname Tierney (Ó Tighearnaigh), and Welsh Teyrnon/Ternon. Nicknames such as Tier or Tye occur in contemporary use. Gender use skews male but can be unisex.
